1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: I tell you scotch on an hour two Sean Hennity's show, 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: told free our numbers eight hundred and ninety four one 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: Seawan if you want to be a part of the program. Look, 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: one of the difficulties when you take over and you 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: inherit an economic disaster, and you inherit a border disaster 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: and a foreign policy disasters, you got to repair the 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: damage that has been done. One of the worst things 8 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: that America has allowed itself to be put in a 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: position of and that is you know that we have 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: been used and abused and taken advantage of by countries 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: all around the world in terms of unfair trade practices. 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: And yeah, the President's been right the whole time. They've 13 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: been ripping us off everyone from Canada to Mexico to 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: our Western European allies, never mind our adversaries. And the 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: President rightfully had to get involved and say we're not 16 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: going to get ripped off anymore. That does, that does 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: cause a short term amount of pain. Now, the President's 18 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: brought in hundreds of billions a day in TOWERFF money, 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: and I'm grateful for that. And the President is now 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: looking at those areas of our economy that have been 21 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: unfairly impacted as he has tried to regain balance and 22 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: frankly a stronger position against other countries that have been 23 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: taking advantage of us. And one of the groups that's 24 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: been impacted the most are American farmers. The Secretary of Agriculture, 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: Brooke Rollins, is with us to discuss it and update 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: us on all of it. Brook, great to have you back. 27 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: How are you, oh Sean? 28 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 2: What a joy to be on And I tell you 29 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: just hearing you talk about our farmers. They are the 30 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: best among us, aren't they. They're like the an Americans 31 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: American and so it was really special to have him 32 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: in the oval with the President the Cabinet room yesterday 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: and how special now to be on with you. 34 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 3: To talk about it. 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate it. Explain the position that the President 36 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: was in. Explain why there is sometimes when you try 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: to restore balance and when we're taking advantage of and 38 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: the President has to get strong with other countries. You know, 39 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: the transition over to a better economy or the transition 40 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: over to freer and fairer trade can be a little 41 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: painful and it might disproportionately impact some areas. And I 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: would argue one of the areas would be, you know, 43 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: the farmers in particular. 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 2: Well, that's right, and listen, we talked about this a 45 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: little bit yesterday, and the president's announcement yesterday was a 46 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: bridge program to get our farmers and our ranchers from 47 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: you know, what was an inherited economic crisis. Listen, this 48 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 2: is pretty amazing, Sean. I don't know how closely you've 49 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: tracked this, but just talking about the agriculture economy under 50 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 2: Joe Biden, the cost of inputs went up on average 51 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: between thirty and forty percent. Fertilizer thirty six percent, labor 52 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: forty seven percent. This is just an four years of Biden. 53 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: Interest rate seventy three percent, equipment thirty three percent. Now, 54 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: when you have our farmers, who sort of live on 55 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 2: the edge of profitability anyway for a lot of reasons, 56 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: when you've got that massive amount of increase in what 57 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 2: it costs to do business, you can't you can't sustain 58 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: your farm. It just isn't possible. Then you marry that 59 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: to the fact that under Joe Biden, not one new 60 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 2: trade deal in four years. So I was with the 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: President the first term, as you know, I was in 62 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: the West Wing running his domestic policy team. When we 63 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: left in twenty twenty, there was a seventeen or eighteen 64 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: billion dollar agriculture trade surplus, meaning that we send out 65 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: more of our ag goods into the world than we 66 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: brought in. And that's great for our farmers. But do 67 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: you know when we came back four years later, we 68 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: now are looking at a fifty billion dollar agricultural trade deficit. 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: So that is a massive swing. And you combine that 70 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: again with the cost of inputs, and our farmers have 71 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: been they're probably as much, if not more, of a 72 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: precarious position than they've been in our lifetimes. And that 73 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: is what we have to fix. This president, if we 74 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: can't feed ourselves, we will lose our freedom. He understands 75 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 2: that better than anyone else. Yesterday was just one of 76 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: many steps that we're taking to get back to an 77 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: era of prosperity for our farmers. But a really really 78 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: important staff. 79 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: Well, from your perspective, and I know you don't have 80 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: a lot of time because obviously being a cabinet secretary 81 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: you're rather busy. We do appreciate the time you're taking 82 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: with us. For example, in the textile area in particular, 83 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: our friends in New York and they have been telling 84 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: me their industry has been impacted greatly in terms of 85 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: the raw materials to manufacture clothing, et cetera. And my 86 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: understanding is the President is working on that too. I 87 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: talked to Scott Besson about it as well. 88 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. It is, Sean, I will tell you, 89 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 2: and I know again, I'm so grateful to you for 90 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 2: being such an incredible mouthpiece or narrative. You know, you're 91 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: so good at being able to explain to all of 92 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: our Americans out there what we're doing. And it's so 93 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: hard when you have the fake news kind of around 94 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: every corner trying to tear you down and basically undermine 95 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: what we're doing. But you get it better than anyone, 96 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: and you see what's happening. For me to see firsthand 97 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 2: as Secretary of Agriculture the dozens and dozens of new 98 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: trade deals that have been struck. Right, you talk about 99 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: opening up the markets and it's not just important to 100 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: get you know, our rice, for example, into Japan, or 101 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 2: our beef into Australia. These are really important things, but 102 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: perhaps just as important is it. 103 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: By the way, Australia not important on beef how many decades. 104 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: Well, and now we got it right. I mean, he 105 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: is the chief filmmaker. But what I'll say is this, 106 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: perhaps just as important is the national security aspect of 107 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: this that no more are we so reliant on one country, 108 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: for example, China, that may not have our best interests 109 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: in mind, but is the biggest majority buyer of our soybeans. 110 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: So it is there so many layers of nuance, but 111 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: all so important to putting America first. And then yesterday, 112 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: let me just give you a great example of President 113 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 2: Trump and how he works. So we finished the meeting 114 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: in the cabinet room with the farmers talking about all 115 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: of these issues. It was wonderful. These are the President's people. 116 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: They've been with him from the moment he went down 117 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: that escalator. Took the rest of the country perhaps a 118 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: minute to catch up, but our farmers and ranchers and 119 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: rural communities were with us, and so you know, and 120 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: he doesn't forget that ever. But we finished the meeting. 121 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 2: It's wonderful. He, of course, even though he doesn't have time, 122 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 2: he's the president of the United States, invites all the 123 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: farmers into the Oval Office, signs all of their name cards, 124 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 2: gives them all pens, takes pictures with everybody. He's just 125 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: so wonderful. But at the end he asked the farmer 126 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: named Brian from South Texas who farms soybeans, corn wheat, cotton, 127 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 2: actually corn wheat cotton swibans, and he said, now tell 128 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: me what your biggest issue is. And Brian said, listen, sir, 129 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 2: I've got a lot of them, but probably the biggest 130 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: one right now is this battle with Mexico over the 131 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: water under the nineteen forty four water treaty, and just 132 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: knowing what kind of water I'm going to have, I 133 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: can't even figure out what I'm going to plant next 134 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: year in South Texas. Sean, within one hour, the President 135 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: had drafted a truth social had me kind of run 136 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: down all the details, gets it posted today. I have 137 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 2: been on the call with lots of counterparts in Mexico, 138 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: lots of my counterparts across the cabinet, and we're about 139 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: to solve this for our South Texas farmers. And again, 140 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: without the President leaning in in such an aggressive way, 141 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: none of this would be happening. That's why he's such 142 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: a difference maker. 143 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, what about the other industries that might be impacted. 144 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: What industries off the top of your head, I mentioned 145 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: the textile industry. What industries do you think maybe need 146 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: a little more attention early on until everything that the 147 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: President has done in terms of the trillions of dollars 148 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: committed in manufacturing investment. And you're right, we were relying 149 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: on other countries for semiconductors, rare earths. We stopped producing 150 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: automobiles or a lot of them in this country. Uh, 151 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: manufacturing is now coming back, Pharmaceutical manufacturings coming back. Couple 152 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: that with the largest tax cut in history, with the 153 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: most aggressive energy dominant policies in history. You know, I 154 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: think we have laid the foundation for great economic growth 155 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: down the line. But there might be you know, some 156 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: industries lagging behind. Any that you see that you're focused 157 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: on in particular. 158 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: Well, so it's such a great question. And again the 159 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: way you talk about it is correct. I mean, this 160 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: is the reason for the bridge payment yesterday. We can't 161 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 2: get all of this sticks we inherited. I mean, the 162 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: more ten months into this Sewan, every day I uncover 163 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: a new just devastating consequence of the policies of the 164 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: last administration. To think that we are having to basic 165 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 2: unwind and completely pivot from what frankly, from my perspective, 166 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: the country was hanging over a cliff. If the President 167 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: had not won November, I don't know that we would 168 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: have ever come back, because just unwinding what the farm 169 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: economy and for agriculture has been like these last ten 170 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: months has just been incredible. You know, the focus on DEI, 171 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 2: the focus on climate change, the focus on the Green 172 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: New Deal, all of that had to be undone. To 173 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 2: your point, when we take tax cuts, when we take 174 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: bringing down the cost of the inputs, when we take 175 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: all the new trade deals that are coming online, when 176 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: we take the one big beautiful bill that was the 177 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: largest investment in rural America in history, all of these 178 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: things combined are going to move I believe our farmers 179 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: and ranchers to an era of prosperity they haven't seen 180 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: in their lifetime, perhaps their dad's lifetime and their granddad 181 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 2: and grandma's lifetime. But it's all going to come together, 182 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: and it's really important until then. To your point, things 183 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: like textiles, things like cotton. Cotton's really struggling right now. 184 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: Rice our California rice guys are doing fine, but the 185 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: rice and the rest of the country is really struggling 186 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: because of some dumping from India and other places, shrimp, 187 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 2: et cetera. It's just it isn't just realigning the tariffs 188 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: themselves that's really important, but these non tariff trade barriers, 189 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: the way that so many of these countries have taken 190 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: advantage of our country in America in dumping their products. 191 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 2: It really is about on shoring, reshoring, being able to 192 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 2: feed ourselves, just the way he talks about manufacturing in 193 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: most of our agriculture community as well. So you know, 194 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: there's I could I could list for you for days, 195 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: Apples are at fifty percent in America that what they 196 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: need to be at. Shrimp way down, Rice is struggling. 197 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: We've had more farm bankruptcies in the last few years 198 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: than we've seen perhaps in our lifetime. I mean, all 199 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: of this has come to a head. But again, I 200 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 2: think yesterday was such a great pivot. And the interesting 201 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: thing is, and I know I'm probably talking a little 202 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: too much, but I do want to say this that 203 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: when you look at a lot of the poles and 204 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 2: when rural America and agriculture on, how are they how 205 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: they're feeling even though they're facing the toughest economic times. 206 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: They're seeing some of their you know, neighbors close shops, selling, 207 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: selling for houses or whatever. Even though you're seeing that, 208 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: the actual morale and the sort of optimism when you 209 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: when these rural America farmers are looking at the future, 210 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: they actually it's very high. They feel very optimistic. They 211 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: believe in President Trump's vision. They know we're working around 212 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 2: the clock for them, and and that's really encouraging too. 213 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 2: And that was a big part of the messages from 214 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: our farmers that the President got to hear yesterday, just 215 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: a big thank you for putting it all on the 216 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: line for them. 217 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate all that you're doing, and I want 218 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: I want everybody in the country to be successful. I mean, 219 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, when your business is hurting and people are suffering, 220 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: they put everything on the line. We are you know, 221 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: we should be that shining city on the hill and 222 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: the land of hope and opportunity and prosperity. And I 223 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: see that all coming back, and I'd love that, you know, 224 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: new golden age in America once again, and I believe 225 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: it's coming anyway.

Sar? 231 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: Good? 232 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 5: Good, Thank you Sean, and thank you for your perspective 233 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 5: on America. 234 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 4: I love it. 235 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 5: So I just want to say about the narco terrorists 236 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 5: and the illegal immigration that I think Americans that don't 237 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 5: know about those things they need to go on ride along. 238 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 5: As I'm a thirty five year veteran, I was a 239 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 5: chief of police for the last fourteen years, and I 240 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 5: noticed that citizens that went riding with the police and 241 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 5: responded to runs and saw the murders and the homicides, 242 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 5: the rapes, the robberies, the shootings occurring because of drugs 243 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 5: in America, they start thinking very differently about what's going on. 244 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 5: Most people are not impacted by violent crime in America. 245 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 5: There's twenty one thousand murders a year at its height, 246 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 5: at it when it went up over thirty percent twenty 247 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 5: nineteen to twenty twenty. And you know, now I hear 248 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 5: from these the liberal left that, oh my gosh, homicides 249 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 5: are down fifteen percent. That's like buying something that's got 250 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 5: a thirty percent hike in price, and then they give 251 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 5: you a fifteen percent discap, you're still losing fifteen percent. 252 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 5: I'm just I'm really sick and tired of hearing about 253 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 5: You know, you just had somebody on there not supporting 254 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 5: ICE in their job to get rid of illegals in America. 255 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 5: Nobody's against immigration, legal immigration. We're all most of us 256 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 5: are legal immigrations, except for those that have ties to 257 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 5: families that fought in the Revolutionary War, were settlers. But 258 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 5: my point is, nobody's against legal immigration. And when I 259 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 5: hear them say that, well, illegal immigrants only commit a 260 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 5: small percentage of the crimes occurring in America, but they 261 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 5: didn't have a right to be here to begin with. Yes, 262 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 5: citizens here commit murders. We know there's twenty one thousand 263 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 5: murders a year in America, and it's most of them 264 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 5: committed by citizens. But all the murders rates, robberies, and 265 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 5: and no offense. For two hundred and fifty million dollars 266 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 5: that was embezzled by the federal or from the federal 267 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 5: government in Minneapolis by the by the illegals, living there 268 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 5: and for them to come out and say they don't 269 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 5: support getting rid of them. You know, we've got what 270 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 5: a thirty trillion dollar national debt. I don't even know 271 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 5: what it's up to anymore. 272 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: But let me let me tell you something. Only because 273 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: of the constraints of time, faving American lives and ending 274 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: this epidemic of drug use and abuse and death has 275 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: to happen. It's that simple. And you know, if again 276 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats find themselves on the wrong side. Americans don't 277 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: want these drugs in the country. Those that are bringing 278 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: them in are enemies of our country.

I don't want the progress that 361 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has had this last year to stop.

And we have an incredible 400 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 4: assembly member, Karl Demaiah for He's from District seventy five. 401 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 4: He is fighting left and right to help the conservative 402 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 4: movement out here. You really need to have him on 403 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 4: your show. He's incredible, But I can't move. My grandkids 404 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 4: are here, my children here, And I think people have 405 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 4: short term memory of what Newsom has wanted to do. 406 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 4: We all know what he did during COVID, but what 407 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 4: he also wanted to do that he was pushing by 408 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 4: twenty thirty. He wanted us everybody to have all gas appliances, 409 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 4: including restaurants, you know, so no more hot water heaters, 410 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 4: gas stoves, gas dryers. And he wanted everybody to own 411 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 4: electric vehicles. And what the other thing people forget is 412 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 4: he wanted to give illegal immigrants up to one hundred 413 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 4: and fifty thousand dollars in interest free loans for them 414 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 4: to purchase homes. And he ended up not signing it 415 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 4: because I think he knew he would it would kill 416 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 4: his bid to become president of the United States. 417 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: Look, I actually welcome if he's now the front runner 418 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: for the Democrats. I welcome this debate. I want to 419 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: remind everybody of the failure under his leadership. And uh, 420 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: Gavin's got one big problem. He's not really factored. And 421 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 1: he can go as hard radical left as he wants. 422 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you right now, Uh, it is not 423 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: going to fly in a lot of the country because 424 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: he's been so extreme radical left. Mam Donnie would not 425 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: get elected nationwide. And Gavin Newsom, I think we'll have 426 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: a very hard time.

Yes, oh boy, 499 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: I mean this is what's pathetic about how government works. 500 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: You live there your whole life, which is amazing in 501 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: and of itself. To be honest, I don't know many 502 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: people that never move in their lives. That's pretty pretty amazing. 503 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 1: But I don't know what to tell you. I want 504 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: to give you good advice, and the only thing I 505 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: can tell you is the following is Right now, because 506 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: of Momdani, home prices you know in the suburbs have 507 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: gone up a whopping twenty five percent. And maybe this 508 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: is not an option for you, but maybe you should 509 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: consider it. Maybe, you know, you you could sell your 510 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: place at a nice profit and get another place. And 511 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: may I suggest something else? I don't know. I know 512 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: your family's probably up in New York. But you can 513 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: get a ticket on Jet Blue fairly inexpensively, and they 514 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: have flights all out of Florida back and forth all day. 515 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: It's like a shuttle. And so what I might suggest 516 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: to you is maybe get to a little warmer weather. 517 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: It's about seventy Look at the exact temperature. I'm sure 518 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: you're very interested in this because it's freezing. I could 519 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: not wait to get the hell out of there yesterday 520 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: and get back to my free state of Florida. And 521 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: it's great to be home right now. It's it's six 522 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: steps seventy two degrees where I am. I'm sorry, what's 523 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: the temperature where you are? 524 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 3: Oh, it's cold, but I do like the cold showing. 525 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 3: And honestly, I'm going to be strayed with you. My 526 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 3: dad died in this alley, his car, random obile, and 527 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 3: I feel like this is where I'm gonna lie next. 528 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 3: So I don't want to leave. But I'm sure as 529 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 3: hell hurt that I have to pay these numbers because 530 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 3: I don't have it and I don't want to lose 531 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 3: my home. And this is something I wanted to bring. 532 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 3: And I agree with everything Trump is doing for the world. 533 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,479 Speaker 3: Oh yes, I do. But this is a major major 534 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 3: factor for me. And I got two young kids. I 535 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 3: got a four and a five.

And you know they have no 554 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: consideration at all at the impact on people like yourself 555 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 1: on a fixed income and then somebody that is, you know, 556 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: like your mom passes away and the only thing that 557 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: changed is a piece of paper, and now the pricing 558 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: you out of your own home. I don't want to 559 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: like rub it in, but in the Free State of Florida, 560 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: the one thing that has gotten a little out of 561 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: control are property taxes because so many people moved here 562 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: and with the constant turnover the you know, if you 563 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: domicile on homestead in Florida, you lock in your property taxes. 564 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: And I think the most it can go up in years, 565 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: it's either two or three percent. And Governor DeSantis is 566 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: going to put a ballot initiative in twenty twenty six 567 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: where people can vote to you know, maybe even eliminate 568 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: property taxes altogether and put a tourist tax in this place. 569 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I've visited other countries I pay a tourist tax. 570 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: Why don't they charge it here in Florida. You want 571 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: to come down in the wintertime, Okay, you can pay 572 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of the tax and take that burden 573 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: off the people of Florida.
